Why, if i may be so bold as to inquire are you even remotely interested in how, what, when or where he spends or invest / does not invest HIS money? Are you a C.P.A.? If not, you may want to be careful about offering any advice, you could and may wind up liable for something you never intended to be a part of. Food for thought. Thanks for the heads up. What exactly is the possible implications of my advice to him? Advice is advice right, take it or leave it. I just want to save a buddy from throwing money away when he could be achieving his dreams - which I know he wants - in my opinion he is just a little clouded and short sighted right now. I was just wanting to give him concrete evidence of what investing early does to your financial future. I think I found it too. "Based on the miracle of compounding interest, money can grow at an exponential rate when earning interest on itself. For example, by investing $1 today at 10 percent, that compounds to $1.10 next year. To put it in perspective, if that earned interest reinvests itself, that $1 today will amount to $117.39 in 50 years. No wonder Ben Franklin called compounding interest the "eighth wonder of the world." Unfortunately, the typical university student does not have a surplus of cash lying around to put away. "When you're in college, it's difficult to invest anything," University of Virginia Commerce Professor Patrick Dennis said. "I barely had enough to buy beer and pizza." But even though it may seem costly to invest now, the losses incurred by not investing until 10 years down the road -- in terms of lost compounded interest -- never can be regained. To get a better picture of how important time really is, consider this: If a 20-year-old puts $1,000 into a mutual fund that returns on average 12 percent a year, by the time he turns 50, that money will have grown to $35,949. But if he waits until the age of 30 to begin, the return will amount to $10,892. A decade can make quite a difference." source: http://www.youngmoney.com/investing/investing_basics/020416_01[url]http://www.youngmoney.com/investing/investing_basics/020416_01 --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

A buddy of mine plays poker, and got lucky (or became skilled as he claims) three weekends in a row. He won over $5000 in less than a month. I'm trying to convince him to invest his money (he doesn't skydive). He already spent, (and lost) some of it. I told him that taking his buddies out for a $250 dinner will not bring you any returns, whereas investing might. I want to give him some more concrete advice. What would you do with $3500 in college? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Great idea. I have tried this before though, and it didn't capture it. Must be some sort of guard. I don't have the DVD though, and neither do I have the drive. Guess I am all out of luck.... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

If I want an image out of a movie to draw, how do I obtain it? Is there any other way besides google images? I thought Motorcycle diaries was awesome, and the comunist guy's face was gripping. I want the shot with his face. How do I get this? Just thought there might be a way..... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Excellent, this works well! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

My French girlfriend is doing a report for her masters on America and Six Sigma (I know there has been discussions about Six Sigma here). She is in France, doing her report for the French. So she asks me: -can you give me your opinion aboutsomething? -the last part is about inquiring why Six Sigma is only implemeneted in American companies so how would you define American companies, regarding their way of doing business and culture???? What do you all think? I know what google says, I am just wondering if you all have an opinion (or other sources) Thanks! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

I don't know her at all, I just needed to write her an email to let her know I will be doing something for her. I have had to do this on several occasions and will be in the future with other people. You don't know someone, but you know their name and title. At least their last name. You need to communicate to them in a proffesional way. Dear Mr. or Ms. or Mrs. So and so seems to work the best then? How do you know if it is Ms or Mrs if you have no idea who they really are agewise or marriagewise? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

rank, I work in an office as a low level, and she works in another office, related, but much higher. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Thankyou! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

I have always wondered about this, and no one in school ever taught me. I want to write a email to Kelly Thompson. She is senior to me, and I want to write respectfully. Do I say... Ms. Thompson, Kelly Thompson, Dear Kelly Thompson, Dear Ms. Kelly Thompson, YOu get the idea. What is the proper way to do this. I feel like I am in third grade now. Oh well, it had to be done.... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

About halfway down there is a link. http://www.tollmuth.com/html/ --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

I can't download it. Can someone possibly email it to me? bertusg@gmail.com Thanks! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

This is a retarded question bertusgeert. If you looked more carefully, there is a shock absorber in front of the grigri. And the grigri IS made to take those loads. Sorry for my ignorance --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Badass, it is good to see the development taking place. Two questions... That is not what a GriGri is made for. Is the forces taken by the Gri Gri? It has to be, the Grigri is the first element in the line off the rope. What is in their backpack and does this influence the jump, looks pretty bulky. Water for the hike out? Once again, Badass.. how much is a plane ticket to moab? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

pretty sure your are referring to Dan Osman http://outside.away.com/magazine/0499/9904terminal.html check out masters of stone 5. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

What about the Havok? Mamba? edit to add: ummm yeah, they are not video helmets. but anyhow, what do you think? And a dumb question that is hard to find answered by searching. The carbon fibre option is simply an unpainted version, but still carbon fiber, right? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Yeah, video would be much apreciated. Aside from almost stealing my name, this guy is now one of my biggest heros. What a badass bunch of guys. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

HEck yeah man, it was awesome to stand among the crowd next to the exit point, hearing them go. "What does this guy think he is doing" and then explaining to them what the situation was. The expression on their faces after hearing that, and then seeing you jump and do what you did was priceless. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

N/A

was to be a basejumper....until now.... http://www.redbullairrace.com/ --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Just thought I would say. I guess that being in America for a while has made me think American... I will not post the picture and remain safe...go search for it yourself... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

My mum sent me a cool pic of a cool S. In light of the recent discussion about norcal, I wasn't sure whether I should post a cool pic or not. The guidelines says, "Do not post photographs identifying BASE sites." This is simply a picture, and does not IDENTIFY it. I'm not sure, just wanted to share something cool. It is not in the U.S. if that makes any difference - and the picture is widely available. So? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Rather than something like Citibank? (I still see myself as pretty naive to the whole business world, and that is why I asked in the first place). --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

If you graduated in a couple of years with and Economics and a Finance degree with an International Bsuiness Management minor, you wanted to start of working for a REALLY solid company? What would you pursue and why? (besides skydiving!) Thanks! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

As I am watching Jebs videos where he travels the world and hear that he is in China and then everywhere else, I started to wonder... What does Jeb do? Besides wearing black...maybe that's a clue? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
